Sophia's Mirror: The Essence of Desire

To You, My Reader

To You, My Reader

Whether you are a return or a first-time visitor: I am aware that my posts over the last months have been rather sporadic, and have at times included writings by others. This has to do with personal health issues which have had to be coped with, and this in turn has meant that I have had to address new and unfamiliar limitations regarding how much I can do and what I can manage. I nevertheless will continue to post what and when I am able to. My thanks to my readers for their understanding, and my wish is that all my visitors will still find something of interest in my previous posts. ~ Emma

The Essence of Desire

I did not

have to ask my heart what it wanted,

because of all desires I have ever known

just one did I cling to

for it was the essence of

all desire:

To hold beauty

in my soul's

arms.

Oh, if only everyone would have these values, imagine how different the world would be, how different everything would appear!
